I don't understand very much your question and purpose, but if you want
to modify the communication method between vlc & vlcs, you should have a
look in src/misc/netutils.c for the vlc-part.

The core of this communication (the request) made by the vlc is in
src/misc/netutils.c:220 :

    /* Build the message */
    sprintf( psz_mess, "%d %u %lu %s \n", i_channel, VLCS_VERSION,
                       (unsigned long)(mdate() / (u64)1000000),
                       psz_mac );

    /* Send the message */
    send( i_fd, psz_mess, MESSAGE_LENGTH, 0 );

and the request is received and parsed with miniVLCS in
miniVLCS/vlcs.c:114 (from the network module of CVS)

if( (i_len = ip_socket->Receive( p_buffer, sizeof( p_buffer ))) < 0 )
{
  (...)
}
p_buffer[i_len] = '\0';

if( sscanf( p_buffer, "%2s %d %d %17s", psz_channel, &i_version,
           &i_time, psz_macad ) != 4 )
{
  (...)
}

Maybe look here for implementation of what you want.
